Quote
Dearest DDF Family!

I cannot begin to express my gratitude and thanks for the outpouring of love which I see, I am humbled by my fellow DDF'ers who took it upon themselves to join the fundraising effort and help me in my time of need. It gladdens my heart to be part of such a family, who will go out of their way to help their fellows in need, whether it is financial or otherwise. I will be forever grateful to all of you, to those who donated the prizes, to those who donated money, and to those who made this a reality.

Thanks again!



What's this all about?

Several generous DDF'ers have donated prizes to be raffled off to bring attention to the defense fund created on his behalf.

Help Out A DDF'er In Need And Win. Tizku Li'Mitzvos. Thank You.
« on: October 21, 2013, 06:48:17 PM »
Please see Wiki for latest updates.

If you've been following this thread you may know that a longtime DDF'er who has a young family was arrested for being on the scene at the time of the sting operation.  Many of you have probably even met him in the real world.

A generous DDF'er is donating a round-trip paid (earn miles :) ) coach ticket to Israel on Delta (up to $1,200 value) a raffle prize to anyone who donates $100 or more to his fund here.

All donations made via that link will go towards that DDF'ers legal fund.

Please don't ask who it is or PM me for more info as I don't have any.

Please add yourself to the Wiki if you have made a $100+ donation.

Tizku l'mitzvos and may we hear good news!

Don't think it's wise to attract attention to this.
The Pidyun Shvuum campaign (the general one) has gotten attention already in the media anyway, and I don't that DD would make it worse.

In any case, I think that putting it up for one day wouldn't kill it.
Side income is the most solid income... בדוק ומנוסה

I hear both ways. And the site isn't a Jewish one per se, so it may turn people off and lose followers, something for Dan to think about. But if it is a "paid" ad it is also different...
FTFY
Thanks.
